The artist collective ruangrupa share their insights into a practice rooted in experimentation, collectivity, and trust as part of the neighborly activations during the Arus Balik programme. Key to ruangrupa’s approach are their ongoing efforts to sustain practices, relationships, and existing journeys through sharing, while considering this act of sharing as part of a deeper constellation of actions in which memory work, artistic endeavors, and archival pursuits play a role. Their contribution will focus on translating thoughts into actions—a ‘gut understanding’ that forms nodes in a network of enacted solidarity.

Who holds land-based knowledge in Kassel and where does it become visible? Who are the women who run lasting economies? How can we share without talking? The Rural School of Economics has been addressing, un-digging and visualising the collective findings to those questions over the last 18 months in and around Kassel. Local partners in the Kassel area are the dairy cooperative Uplander Bauernmolkerei, the Shared Pot Kommune Niederkaufungen, Frauentreff Brückenhof, Schlachthof Kulturzentrum, Violets against Violence, and of course ruangrupa and Lumbung itself. Trans-local guests came over from wider Germany, Belarus, Scotland, Turkey, Russia, Italy, the Netherlands and Malta.

Nuraini Juliastuti: Commons people, lumbung as a traveling concept In the times of uncertainties, the growing currency and relevance of sharing and commoning-based cultural projects represents a recognition of lumbung as a certain mannerism of doing art—but extraction feels lurking behind it.
Melani Budianta: Negotiating the Transnational lumbung The pandora box that the documenta fifteen lumbung project opens up reveals the problem of transnational translation in addressing burdens of local traumatic histories, and the continuing violence of global structures.
Nuraini Juliastuti is a trans-local practicing researcher and writer focusing on art organization, activism, illegality, and alternative cultural production. Juliastuti co-founded Kunci Study Forum & Collective in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in 1999. She obtained a PhD from Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology, Leiden University.

Juliastuti also develops Domestic Notes, a publication-based project that uses domestic and migrant spaces as sites to discuss everyday politics, organization of makeshift support systems, and alternative cultural production. With her family, she runs a small press, Reading Sideways Press, to publish works and translations on arts, sports, and literature.
Melani Budianta is a Professor of Literature and Cultural Studies in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Indonesia and a member of the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society.

John Roosa: Dangerous Images and Moral Panics in Indonesia, 1965 to the Present The ongoing, decades-long farce, of innocuous appearances of certain images, interpreted by Indonesian state officials as evidence of a sinister underground conspiracy of powerful proportions.

Mad Time Warp is a looping playlist that features sound artists whose work resists linear clock time; evokes hypnotic, trance, or dreams states; and opens up alternative temporal realities beyond the white, straight, & abled paradigms that constrain and suppress us.
While a lot of the conversations around crip time and chrononormativity focus on the ways time is measured, structured, and enforced, Mad Time Warp explores the agency we already have over sensations, narratives, and conscious experiences of time. Sound in particular can allow for immediate, firsthand encounters with time’s mutability; this is vital to breaking the belief that time is linear, quantifiable, and an inalterable instrument of discipline.
Mad Time Warp is a part of Party Office’s project ‘Queer Time: Kinships & Architectures’ at documenta fifteen, and the submissions were made through an open call, Mad Time Warp, is curated by Joey Cannizzaro and Ramya Patnaik.

(Kassel time) 4–4.30 pm : Philippe Pirotte: Control Prevention 4.30–5 pm : Q&A
The conference “Let there be lumbung” from Tuesday, September 20 to Friday, September 23, 2022 at ruruHaus in Kassel, in the sense of nongkrong, provides a forum for contextualizing art practices by ways of lumbung.
documenta fifteen invites to join the discussion of lumbung practices and its reception in different contexts. There are panels about the origins of lumbung, its social and historical contexts, repercussions, and its potentialities beyond documenta fifteen.
The conference, which takes place in the last week of the 100 days of the exhibition in Kassel, includes a series of talks by scholars and cultural practitioners from various time zones.
Philippe Pirotte: Control Prevention The culture of making friends and working together coming out of the refuge: the biggest scandalon of the lumbung proposal for those addicted to hierarchy and control.
Philippe Pirotte (WITA), is Professor for Art History and Curatorial Studies (on leave of absence) at Staedelschule Frankfurt, Adjunct Senior Curator at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, and Associate Curator at Gropius Bau in Berlin. In October 2021 he organized The Color Curtain and The Promise of Bandung, a series of roundtables reappraising Asian-African political imagination. Now, in collaboration with the group of artists and curators featuring at the roundtables, he prepares the exhibition Bandung Spirits to be held in Berlin in the fall of 2023.
This event brings together Keleketla! Library (Johannesburg), The Black Archives (Amsterdam), and Asia Art Archive (Hong Kong)—three lumbung artists that imagine and activate libraries and archives as sites of storytelling and community building. We ask: What are the limitations of the libraries and archives that inform our understanding of storytelling and how do we challenge these limitations? The conversation will also invite other lumbung artists to share their stories and culminate into an after party with music selected by the participants.
A performance by Agus Nur Amal PMTOH telling the story of the formerly uninhabited island of Lombok, Indonesia. After the volcanic explosion of Mount Merapi people who lived around the island worked collectively to cultivate its fertile grounds, grow rice, harvest and feast together.
Hosted by AWAL oral art and research collective and in a two-part performance between two locations, Moroccan visual artist Imane Zoubai packs and unpacks shared musical territories in a moment of reminiscing. Using musical elements from feasts and celebrations, she shows her soil, organises it and reimposes it on Kassel’s soil as if to sow soil in soil. In the first act, Imane begins by tfrash/ تفرش or laying out fields to prepare and wait for bread to bake; in the second act, Imane continues by unpacking the soil elsewhere and inviting others to do the same.
Conversation with the artist Abdoulaye Konaté about his work “Homage to the hunters of the Mande” and its link with the concept of the Maaya Bulon (vestibule).
